I am a big fan of open source remoting and rarely find the need for much JS to communicate with other browser objects. And it is probably more my old past experiences with JS and cross browser issues that can cause people to leap from high bridges late in the night. :)
People tell me "No! It works on all browsers super duper wicked awesome!" and I just have a hard time motivating myself to try and involve it more in my work. I am a scaredy cat turned Jackass list poster when it comes to Ajax/JS. I should seek some professional help but I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and there are so many crazy people here I just feel like I would end up sticking out if I got therapy. :P I should probably also make it more obvious when I am just trying to be a wiseacre or play devils advocate in my posts. I love to be conviced to take another look at something, so beat me with some URLs and make me believe again! I highly value and respect your thoughts and words Aral (and have for many years). :) Best regards, Ken > Aral > > On 3 Sep 2006, at 02:53, Ken Rogers wrote: > > >> Personally, I am just plain sick of hearing that acronym (AJAX).
